The devastating oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in the year 1969 was the incident that developed an insight and consciousness in the mind of Former Senator of US , Gaylord Nelson , to initiate a movement in America that led to bringing million Americans on street on 22nd April 1970, making it the First Earth Day to protest against the deterioration of Environment.

With this Global movement, Nagpur Municipal Corporation, Green Vigil Foundation and Earth Day Network  commemorated ‘Earth Day 2019 – Protect Our Species’ campaign on 22nd April 2019, by conducting a citizen outreach campaign at Children’s Traffic Park, Dharampeth, Nagpur.

So, it’s a wake up call to realize and act before it’s too late.

Mrs. Karuna Singh, Regional Director South Asia and Country Director, Earth Day Network, India, appreciated the efforts being taken by Green Vigil Foundation and Nagpur Municipal Corporation for Environment Protection in the city.
